Step 1: Communicate with your Advisor concerning your degree plan. Refer to Academic Programs and Contact Information listed below.

Step 2: Review the Nicholls Online Calendar page for dates of when classes begin/end and for financial payment information.

Step 3: Review the Courses available from the “Schedule of Classes” link in the menu above. Consider dates for these courses when planning your schedule. Make note of the specific courses and CRN (computer registration number). You will need this number when you register.

Step 4: Determine which courses you need based on your degree plan and discussion with your advisor. Remember, Nicholls Online students are only allowed to register for 9 hours per term.

Step 5: Click on MyNicholls to register for your courses. 

Here are the steps to log into MyNicholls

*After the 3rd day of classes at the start of a semester, Nicholls’ students cannot register/drop/add classes through MyNicholls.  You will need to email online@nicholls.edu with the courses you want to add.  This is especially important to remember for Term B courses.  Include the course CRN and your N# in your email.  And remember to use your Nicholls email address when contacting the university.

Login to MyNicholls

Click Student Registration tile. 

Once in the Registration application:

• Click on the Prepare For Registration link to ensure you’re ready to register. Select the term to register. Once there, you can check your registration status and see any holds that prevent registration.
• Click on Registration.
• Click on Register for Classes to search and register for classes. You will also be able to manage your schedule.

Navigating Action Item Processing

You will have to accept the Financial Responsibility Obligation Agreement (FROA) for each new registration cycle through Action Item Processing. Clicking the Register for Classes link will open Action Item Processing automatically when you have pending action items.

• Once the Action Item box opens, click CONTINUE on the Action Item Processing box.
• Click on the appropriate Action Item still showing as Pending, and follow the applicable directions. (For FROA, once the information has been reviewed, check the “I accept the terms of this agreement.” box, and click Save.)
• Only once all Action Items have been processed and changed to Completed will you be able to continue and register for courses.

Step 1: On the Registration homepage, select Register for Classes.

Step 2:  From the dropdown menu, select the intended term for registration and click continue.

Step 3 : To add a course to your schedule, click the Add button.

Refer to the Department Telephone Directory for Registration Assistance.

Check Conditional Add and Drop when you want to drop a course from your schedule only on the “condition” that you are able to add a new course to your schedule without error.
